UIsaya Uyibona Itrone
UIsaya ubona uBawo wethu ehleli etroneni ngomnyaka wokufa kuka-Uziya, etshabalele ngenxa yemilebe yakhe eyinqambi, ade ilahle elivela esibingelelweni lichukumise imilebe yakhe. Uzinikela phambi kokuva umsebenzi: ukuthetha ebantwini abangayi kuqonda, ade imizi isale ize. Kusala isiphunzi kuphela.
6 1Ngomnyaka wokufa kokumkani u-Uziya, ndabona iNkosi uYesu ihleli etroneni, ephakamileyo ephakanyisiwe, umqukumbelo wengubo yakhe wazalisa itempile. a a v1 Umpostile uYohane usixelela ukuba uIsaya wabubona ubuqaqawuli bukaYesu — uYohane 12:41. 2Ngaphezu kwakhe kwakumi iiserafi, nganye inamaphiko amathandathu: amabini egubungela ubuso, amabini egubungela iinyawo, amabini ephaphazela. 3Zabizana zisithi: “Ungcwele, ungcwele, ungcwele uBawo wethu, uNyana, noMoya oyiNgcwele, iNkosi yemikhosi yasezulwini; lonke ihlabathi lizele bubuqaqawuli bakhe.” b b v3 Ukuthi kathathu 'ungcwele' kweeserafi kuviwa yisithethe samaKrestu njengonqulo lukaThixo oziNtathu eMnye. ITestamente eNtsha ikhankanya uMntu ngamnye walo mbono wetrone: uYesu (uYohane 12:41), uMoya oyiNgcwele (iZenzo 28:25), noBawo — okuvakaliswa kwakhona kumbono kaYohane ofanayo (iSityhilelo 4:8).
4Ekuvakaleni kwamazwi azo zanyikima iziseko zeminyango, indlu yazala ngumsi. 5Ndaza ndathi: “Yeha kum! Nditshabalele! Ndiyindoda enemilebe eyinqambi, ehlala phakathi kwabantu abanemilebe eyinqambi—kanti amehlo am ambonile uKumkani, uYesu, iNkosi yemikhosi yonke yasezulwini!”
6Yaza enye yeeserafi yaphaphazela yeza kum, iphethe ilahle elivuthayo ngesandla sayo, elithabathwe esibingelelweni ngezifinyiso. 7Yachukumisa umlomo wam ngalo, yathi: “Khangela, eli lichukumise imilebe yakho; ubugwenxa bakho bususiwe, isono sakho sicanyagushelwe.”
8Ndaza ndeva ilizwi leNkosi yethu uYesu lisithi: “Ndothuma bani na? Ngubani na oya kusihambela?” Ndathi: “Ndikho apha. Ndithume mna.”
9Wathi: “Hamba, uthi kwaba bantu: ‘Yivani okunene, kodwa ningaqondi; bonani okunene, kodwa ningaqondisisi.’ 10Yityebise intliziyo yaba bantu ibe lukhuni; wenze iindlebe zabo zibe nzima, namehlo abo ube yimfama—ukuze bangaboni ngamehlo abo, bangeva ngeendlebe zabo, bangaqondi ngeentliziyo zabo, baze babuye baphiliswe.”
11Ndaza ndathi: “Koda kube nini na, Nkosi Yesu?” Waphendula wathi: “Zide imizi ibe ngamanxuwa, ize, izindlu zingenabantu, nelizwe lishiywe kube senkangala kuphele,

13Nokuba isishumi sisasele kulo, siya kuphinda sitshiswe— njengomterebhinti okanye um-oki osala isiphunzi saso xa sigawulwa. Imbewu engcwele sisiphunzi saso.” d d v13 Umterebhinti ngumthi omkhulu, onamasebe asasazekileyo — ofana nom-oki — oshiya isiphunzi esibanzi xa ugawulwa.
